Interview

I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Sydney) in May 2017
Interview
Two phone interviews. First one was simple, discussed about my experience, and explained about the role and responsibilities. Second phone interview was with another Software Development Manager, very technical.
Not professional at all, the interviewer was not able to hear me well, seemed he was in his mobile and not focused on the interview. He just asked me a couple of questions and recommend not to apply to those kind of profiles.
